MuX

MuX is being taken off Steam
MuX Early Access is discontinued; free transition to PatchXR

We appreciate MuX Early Access users' commitment to the tool, and know you've want information about the project. Decochon as an entity dissolved after 2018, so now MuX is no longer supported or developed.

To complete that process and avoid any ongoing uncertainty, we're removing MuX from the Steam Early Access program. You'll still be able to access the Community Hub if you wish.

But while the journey of MuX is ending, the ideas continue. We still believe in the future of music creation and expression in VR and XR, thanks in no small part to you and what you put into MuX. With that in mind, we've assembled a new team with broader and deeper experience in engineering and support. We are expanding our vision, adapting to new, more capable immersive platforms and expanding tools both for advanced authoring and new ways of experiencing music as fans and people new to music and VR.

The new team is PatchXR, which is creating both a Patch Authoring Tool and a platform called PatchWorld to explore immersive musical experiences.

All MuX users will receive priority, free access to the beta. You'll be the first to get to use the stable, expressive, documented in-development version we're releasing in this quarter of 2021 (Q2). We think we can deliver on your Early Access investment better with this new tool, and we're making that transition free of cost.

To make sure you're on that list, let us know via this request form so we can stay in touch:
https://www.patchxr.com/signup

We also have a community for your feedback, questions, and work in these new tools, and to stay connected with one another, on Discord:
https://discord.gg/2TgNDAyrMn

We hope to see you in PatchWorld and PatchXR. You were part of the foundation for this project - we hope you join us for the next chapter.

Thanks,

PatchXR team

Developer's comments


Dear MuX-icians:

With this new update, along with a bunch of new components, we have reworked the Interaction system, resulting in a much improved button-pressing experience. Instead of having to carefully touch a button, you can now press, poke, whack and slam to your heart's content!

We also added a major improvement to the visual feedback. Event components now light up when firing, making it easier to follow what is going on.

We have also added the first version of our in-game Wiki. In the Wiki, you can read articles about all of the components, as well as various important concepts, such as connections, signals and commands. Some Wiki pages also feature examples, to help you understand the various concepts and components in MuX. To enter the wiki, either find the i button in the Hub, or type loadx wiki into L_IZA.

Please note that MuX is a work in progress, and everything is subject to change.

We hope you have fun with the new update, and we'd like to give a warm welcome to all of the new players who have joined us since the last update. Please feel free to share your thoughts and creations here in the steam forum, on reddit, or on social media.
Stay MuX-y!
